Frames:Controlling another frame w/ history.go(-1)

[Jenn]

Hi,
I have a page that I am setting up at
http://www.extravaganzadesign.com/aw/frame.htm
I am using a frame on top for some navigation and the frame below for
content that will go to external sites. I want to be able to have
buttons in my first frame that function as "previous page" and "next
page" when applicable. I am trying to figure out the code to make this
work. Right now I have a function set up as:

<script type="text/javascript">
function goback()
{
window.parent.frames[1].history.go(-1);
}
</script>
And then my button I have set up as a null link with this code

<a href="#"= onClick="return goback()">

I am still obviously a JavaScript newbie (I am in my 4th week of my
JavaScript class) and would greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks

I removed the word "return" from my function call. Now it works in IE
but not NS or Safari. Any ideas still are appreciated!

Jenn,
Remove the "return" from your function call. Also, there is an extra =
sign before your onclick that shouldn't be there.
